JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 2nd September Evening Slot - No. 16)

In a Young’s double slit experiment, 16 fringes are observed in a certain segment of the screen when light of a wavelength 700 nm is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to 400 nm, the number of fringes observed in the same segment of the screen would be
28
24
30
18

Explanation

Let the length of segment is "$$l$$"

Let N is the no. of fringes in "$$l$$" and w is fringe width.

$$ \therefore $$ Nw = $$l$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ N$$\left( {{{\lambda D} \over d}} \right)$$ = $$l$$

As in both cases segment length is same.

$$ \therefore $$ $${{{{N_1}{\lambda _1}D} \over d} = l}$$

and $${{{{N_2}{\lambda _2}D} \over d} = l}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $${{{{N_1}{\lambda _1}D} \over d}}$$ = $${{{{N_2}{\lambda _2}D} \over d}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{N_1}{\lambda _1}}$$ = $${{N_2}{\lambda _2}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 16 × 700 = N2 × 400

$$ \Rightarrow $$ N2 = 28
